"It is only by introducing the young
to great literature, drama, and music,
and to the excitement
of great science,
that we open to them
the possibilities
that lie within the human spirit--
enable them to see visions
and dream dreams."

It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."

Oct. 11, 2007 - Look Who's Here!
Hope arrived at 3:42 a.m.
October 11th
7 lbs. 8 ounces
19 inches
Blonde curly hair, baby blue eyes
Absolutely beautiful and healthy
My labor began in earnest around 5:00 p.m. We stayed home until the ctxs were 3 to 4 mins apart, then headed to the hospital. I was still just a 3 to 4 cm when we arrived (boo, hoo), but definately in active labor. I had a wonderful nurse who has been in Labor and Delivery for 30 years. I was able to sleep (kinda) in between most of the contractions.
.
I also got to spend some time in the jacuzzi tub (ahhhhhhhh!)
Pushing went very quickly and she was out in one and half pushes.
The cord was wrapped loosely around her neck , but didn't appear to be a problem. She was very, very active through the whole labor!
Overall, this was my best labor, no tears or skid marks, etc.
I appreciate all of your prayers....i could feel them surrounding me.
I'm so happy for all of you. She is just adorable. I'm so glad everything went so well. That is a true answer to prayer. Thank you so much for sharing her picture with us. :)

Oh, Tracy... what a beautiful angel!!! Congratulations to you and your family. She is so beautiful. I'm glad you received the "gentle-labor-vibes" in time. :-) It sounds like a blessed delivery. A chill went up my spine as I read your post. Pure joy...
Praise the Lord for a healthy baby girl! So good to hear of Hope's arrival and the better labor you had with her. She is so beautiful!
A friend of mine delivered her baby a day before you did and after holding him I can't tell you how I long to hold my own. Only 21 more days! I'll continue to pray for you as you go home and start adjusting to a new "normal". -- Amy
AWWW. She is beautiful. So sorry it took me this long to comment:(
Congrats on the your new little girl. Sounds like all went well and things at home are going good too.So happy for you. May God bless you and your beautiful family.
